Heinrich Müller in America?

Gestapo Chief Heinrich Müller disappeared at the end of World War II; this we know. But where did he go from Germany?

There were sightings of Gestapo Müller in Moscow; there were stories that he had always been a Soviet double agent; that he held the rank of Lieutenant General with the Soviets.

There are those, knowledgeable in the ways of the ‘SPOOK’ world; in the ways of government misinformation & disinformation who feel that the ‘sightings’ of Gestapo Müller in Moscow were deliberately planted. One wrote here and said that Gestapo Müller would have a great laugh if he could know just how well this cover story was repeated and believed. Müller was so anti-Communist, it was claimed, that no one with any knowledge of the man or the politics of the day could possibly believe this Soviet connection. I-16 on sea trials

A report (unconfirmed, of course) has just surfaced that might make a little more sense. According to this report, Müller was grabbed up at the end of the war by the CIA (then the OSS). The U.S. Government was grabbing up as many high-ranking personnel from Germany as they could, to combat the Soviet Union, and Gestapo Müller was one such man. Again according to this report, Müller was brought to the United States for collaboration with American military chiefs during the Cold War and ultimately died in 1975 or 1976 in Hawaii. Seems like a great retirement plan.....

Japanese Translator Dies

According to YOYA KAWAMURA (1739-LIFE-1991), his good friend Yoshiya Yajima passed away on February 1 this year. YOYA and Yajima were planning to visit Germany this summer to see the dams that Guy Gibson and his flyboys bombed and breached. Yajima was known for translating many books, and at the time of his death, was preparing to translate the books by Saburo Sakai, Japan’s most famous wartime pilot.

Famed US Navy Admiral Dies

Admiral Arleigh Burke passed away on 1 January this year. He was one of the US Navy’s most honored veterans of World War II. His ‘LITTLE BEAVER’ squadron of destroyers sank one Japanese cruiser, nine destroyers, a submarine, several small vessels and shot down some 30 planes in a four-month period at the end of 1943 and the beginning of 1944. Burke was 94.

Picket Patrol

JERRY ROBERTS (3043-1993) is writing a book on the Picket Patrol, the sailing vessels used by the US Coast Guard as ASW early warning units off the New York and New Jersey shore during World War II. The boats were painted grey, and were equipped with underwater listening gear and radio transmitters. They had light armament. Their mission was just to report any U-Boats they located so the ASW units could respond.

JERRY would like to hear from any U-Bootfahrer who encountered any of these ‘Picket Patrol’ boats off the US coast. Please contact this HQ if you have further information.

‘TORA TORA TORA’

We have been following the story that some researchers think they have located one of the I.J.N. midget submarines that successfully got into Pearl Harbor and launched her torpedoes at the American battleships. Here is a note from YOYA KAWAMURA (1739-LIFE-1991) with some additional information.

“Through elimination method it has been deduced that this midget was likely the one commanded by Yokoyama launched by the I-16.

At 1811 hours on 7 December 1941 the I-16 received a badly garbled radio message from its midget that said: ‘TORA TORA TORA I-16 TOU’ which meant that the midget that had been launched by the I-16 had succeeded in a surprise attack. The message was sent on 8905 kc.

I had always wondered why this message was sent if all of the midgets failed in their mission and accomplished nothing as has heretofore been believed by all historians.”

Standard Oil

GORDON WILCHER (3754-1994) writes: “As I recall, Standard Oil of New Jersey sold gas in this country under the ESSO sign until the late sixties or early seventies. The company is now called Exxon. Other Standard Oils were Standard Oil of Indiana which marketed under the Standard logo, and Standard Oil of California now known as Chevron. Again trusting to my memory, I think that a great quantity of refined petroleum fell to the Japanese in the invasion of the Philippines in 1942. This was the property of Standard Oil as reported in Grey’s official history of the US Navy. According to Grey, a US Navy officer set demolition charges on a large oil storage facility in the Manila area shortly before it fell but was stopped by an official of SO who wanted a receipt for the value of the oil, which the officer, probably a junior officer, refused to sign; hence the charges were not set off.

I have seen some references to various SO companies with Rockefeller the chief shareholder, selling fuel to Germany and in particular to the U-Boats before our entry into the European war.”
